For a particular experiment, Maria must heat water in a glass flask using a Bunsen burner. She then needs to move the flask from the burner to the lab bench. What protective equipment should she use?

Goggles protect Maria’s eyes from splashes, and a lab coat or apron protects her clothing and skin. Heatproof gloves are needed to safely move a hot glass flask from the burner to the bench. Chemical protective gloves are not the right choice for handling hot glass; they may not protect against heat.
